Hi,

I've been trying to set up Courier 0.37.3 and was mostly successful.
I'm only using the IMAP server and webmail; I use Postfix as my MTA.

So I have some questions.

- Is it possible to get Courier-IMAP to use a different location for
Maildirs?  My mailboxes are in /var/mail/<username>, but it seems
$HOME/Maildir is the default.  I am short enough of space on my home
directory partition that I can't afford to have the mail there :) For
now I've used symlinks to get it to work.

- I only seem to be able to log into the IMAP server from the server.
Otherwise, if I connect from another host, I get an authentication
failure.  I am using Mutt 1.3.27/1.3.28 and Eudora 5.1.  Both seem to
properly authenticate with CRAM-MD5.  And there is no problem logging
into webmail from anywhere.

- I really like SqWebMail, it's simple and effective.  I was especially
impressed to note it had format=flowed support.  However I ran into a
few problems with the "from" address it generated.  It took the form:

From: "Nicholas Riley,,(xxx) xxx-xxxx,(xxx) xxx-xxxx" <nicholas@host>

instead of what I was expecting:

From: "Nicholas Riley" <nicholas@domain>

Postfix adds the domain suffix so I end up with:

From: "Nicholas Riley,,(xxx) xxx-xxxx,(xxx) xxx-xxxx" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>

Is there a way of getting SqWebMail to just use the user's full name
and not the rest of the GECOS field?  Also, can you set the domain
(I'd have thought it would use /etc/mailname or something...) or even
set the "from" address per-user?

It seems the last two questions might be related, possibly the IMAP
server is getting the wrong hostname too?

I didn't see any mentions of these problems in the changelog, but if
any of these are fixed in 0.38.0 I can try to upgrade, I was just
using the Debian packages which have not yet been updated.

Thanks.  If you need any more information please let me know...
